EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, King George V and Queen Mary pay a visit of inspection to the newly established London Museum at Kensington Palace in 1912. The London Museum, which would later become the Museum of London, was informally opened with this significant royal visit. The monarchs spent a considerable amount of time examining the exhibits, many of which held connections to the Royal Family. The London Museum was a product of the growing interest in history and culture during the early 20th century. The collection, which was initially housed in various locations, was brought together under one roof to create a comprehensive and accessible resource for the public. The temporary home of the museum at Kensington Palace provided an ideal setting for the inauguration, as it held a rich history of its own, having served as a residence for several English monarchs throughout history. King George V and Queen Mary's presence at the inauguration event added a sense of legitimacy and prestige to the museum. Their visit not only marked the beginning of the London Museum but also signified the importance of preserving and showcasing the history and heritage of London for future generations. The exhibits, which included various artifacts, documents, and works of art, offered visitors a glimpse into the city's rich and diverse past. This photograph captures a moment in history when the monarchy and the people came together to celebrate and appreciate the cultural heritage of their city. The London Museum, with its newfound royal patronage, embarked on a journey to preserve and share the stories of London, setting the stage for the growth and development of the Museum of London as we know it today.
